Wang Yin graduated from Central Academy of Drama. In 1990, he had resided in art village in Yuan Ming Yuan Park, then moved to Song Zhuang in 1998 to begin his work as a professional artist. From '85 New Wave to Yuan Ming Yuan Park and Song Zhuang, Wang Yin experienced the modern process of Chinese painting. Furthermore, he is always engaged on theater and had cooperated with director Lin Zhaohua on Hamlet in 1989 and with director Zhang Yimou on Turandot in 1996. In 2007, he worked again with Lin Zhaohua and Tan Dun on Assassin. He also worked on various kinds of operas such as HuangMei opera, Yue opera and Huai opera etc.

Wang Yin always attempts to make his paintings more provocative by capturing painting conceptions growing on daily life and his understanding of painting. "Painting should actually challenge the established paradigms; it should put to the test what perception renders stiff and systematic, the 'good manners' and 'good taste' of those pictures hung in living rooms and exhibits."
